Inbound / Outbound Firewall Settings
Rule Name
This setting specifies a name for the firewall rule.
Enable
This setting specifies whether the firewall rule should take effect. If the box is checked, the
firewall rule takes effect. If the traffic matches the specified protocol/IP/port, actions will be
taken by the Pepwave router based on the other parameters of the rule. If the box is not
checked, the firewall rule does not take effect. The Pepwave router will disregard the other
parameters of the rule.
WAN
Connection
(Inbound)
Select the WAN connection that this firewall rule should apply to.
Protocol
This setting specifies the protocol to be matched. Via a drop-down menu, the following
protocols can be specified:
 TCP
 UDP
 ICMP
 IP
Alternatively, the Protocol Selection Tool drop-down menu can be used to automatically
fill in the protocol and port number of common Internet services (e.g., HTTP, HTTPS, etc.)
After selecting an item from the Protocol Selection Tool drop-down menu, the protocol
and port number remains manually modifiable.
